Better:

Better:

Give me some suggestions for improving listening.

What to Avoid
Don't Be Too Vague
❌ Help me write something
✅ Help me write a 500-word product intro highlighting three key features
Don't Assume Mory Knows the Context
❌ Continue from last time
✅ Last time we discussed Project A requirements, please continue helping me flesh out the technical solution
Don't Ask for Too Many Things at Once
❌ Help me write a proposal, make a table, send an email, schedule a meeting
✅ Take it step by step, focus on one thing at a time
Keep Improving
- Save good prompts: Record ones that work well for reuse
- Analyze failed conversations: When Mory misunderstands, think about what wasn't clear
- Try different phrasings: Same request, different wording might work better
